The effects of the solid contacting area,conductive materials and fixing between the substrate and the base were investigated without affecting the other parameters. Experimental results indicated that the preferable solid contacting area was more than 60% of total contacting areal; the particular Sn-Pb alloy was more suitable for conducting heat and the concentric fixing ring was a better setting for controlling the substrate temperature. The result was explained in terms of the variable thermal contact resistance at the interface between substrate and base. The diamond films were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy （SEM） for morphology, X-ray diffraction （XRD） for the intensity of characteristic spectroscopy and Raman spectroscopy for structure.展开更多

The most important factor of thrombosis in the blood pump is the quality of blood contacting surface which is related to hemocompatibility of materials and micromorphololgy or roughness of the surface. So it is necessary to understand the morphology of the surface inside of blood pump in order to develop and improve a good quality blood pump. The authors observed and analysed the inner surface of blood pumps (both preimplanted and postimplanted) with scanning electron microscopy (SEM) providing a means for evaluating the blood pumps and for developing good quality of blood pumps. It was observed that there were four kinds of surface defects on the inner surface of the blood pumps: air bubble domes, open bubble craters, contaminated dust and gel particles. Microcrakes had also been found on the diaphragm of the postimplanted pump. But in the newly improved blood pump that had been imlanted for 16 days, there were few defects on the blood contacting surface, and only a little fibrinous layer observed. It could be considered that the current design and modifications are reasonable. Since some problems associated with the surface defects and thrombosis still existed, further improvement in fabrication process and quality control procedures with SEM are under way.展开更多

An oscillating force superimposed onto a static compressive force in the vertical direction excites the vibration of a rigid sphere, which causes variable contact radius and contact pressure distribution in the contact region. The assumption of a sufficiently small oscillating force yields a dynamic contact-pressure distribution of a constant contact radius, which gives dynamic contact stiffness at the interface between the rigid sphere and the semi-infinite solid. Numerical calculations show the influence of vibration frequency of the sphere, and elastic constants of the transversely isotropic solid on dynamic contact stiffness, which benefits quantitative evaluation of elastic constants and orientation of single hexagonal grains by resonance-frequency shifts of the oscillator in resonance ultrasound microscopy.展开更多

While a few studies have explored the impact of fluorine on Schottky contacts, a comprehensive theoretical explanation supported by experimental evidence remains lacking. This work investigates the effects of fluorine incorporation and electrothermal annealing(ETA) on the current transport process at Ni/β-Ga_(2)O_(3) Schottky contacts. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and first-principles calculations confirm the presence of fluorine substitutions for oxygen and oxygen vacancies and their lowering effect on the Schottky barrier heights. Additionally, accurate electrothermal hybrid TCAD simulations validates the extremely short-duration high temperatures(683 K) induced by ETA, which facilitates lattice rearrangement and reduces interface trap states. The interface trap states are quantitatively resolved through frequency-dependent conductance technique, showing the trap density(DT)reduction from(0.88-2.48) × 10^(11) cm^(-2)·eV^(-1) to(0.46-2.09) × 10^(11) cm^(-2)·eV^(-1). This investigation offers critical insights into the β-Ga_(2)O_(3) contacts with the collaborative treatment and solids the promotion of high-performance β-Ga_(2)O_(3) power devices.展开更多

An inverse heat conductionproblem for estimating the periodic Thermal Contact Conductance (TCC) between one-dimensional, constantproperty contacting solids has been investigated with conjugate gradient method (CGM) of function estimation.This method converges very rapidly and is not so sensitive to the measurement errors. The advantage of thepresent method is that no a priori information is needed on the variation of the unknown quantities, since the solutionautomatically determines the functional form over the specified domain. A simple, straight forward techniqueis utilized to solve the direct, sensitivity and adjoint problems, in order to overcome the difficulties associatedwith numerical methods. Two general classes of results, the results obtained by applying inexact simulatedmeasured data and the results obtained by using data taken from an actual experiment are presented. In addition,extrapolation method is applied to obtain actual results. Generally, the present method effectively improves theexact TCC when exact and inexact simulated measurements input to the analysis. Furthermore, the results obtainedwith CGM and the extrapolation results are in agreement and the little deviations can be negligible.展开更多

文摘The self-assembled monolayer(SAM),functioning as a hole transport layer,holds the potential to substantially elevate the efficiency of perovskite and organic solar cells.Nevertheless,incomplete SAM coverage may result in interface defects lurking between the photovoltaic layer and the electrode,thereby causing non-radiative recombination losses of interfacial charges.To tackle this issue,we introduced 4-bromobutyric acid to co-assemble with the SAM,yielding a more compact co-assembled monolayer(co-SAM)that effectively repairs these defective zones.Confocal laser scanning microscopy and Kelvin Probe Force Microscopy show that co-SAMs successfully mitigate interface defects in the previously uncovered electrode regions.Furthermore,the work function of the electrodes is elevated to 5.6 eV,facilitating efficient hole extraction.Consequently,devices incorporating co-SAMs exhibit notably reduced non-radiative recombination losses.The power conversion efficiency(PCE)of the devices is enhanced to 20.0% in binary organic solar cells,and an even more remarkable breakthrough PCE of 25.8% is achieved in perovskite/organic tandem devices.This study introduces a straightforward strategy to improve the hole-selective contact of electrodes,ultimately boosting the overall efficiency of the devices.

文摘This paper quantitatively discusses the influence of well contact on single-event transient(SET)in sub-20 nm FinFET by two-photon absorption(TPA)pulse laser.Two groups of inverter chains were designed to investigate the impact of well contact distance on the FinFET process.The experimental results show that the SET pulse width has a bimodal symmetric distribution,which is different from that of a bulk planar CMOS device.To investigate the detailed mechanism of the phenomenon,a high-precision FinFET TCAD model was established,in which both Id-Vd and Id-Vg errors were less than 10%compared to the SPICE model provided by the commercial process.TCAD simulation under heavy ion injection showed the mechanism of the abnormal phenomenon,where the well contact plays a major role in charge collection at the near-well contact distance,while the source plays a major role at the far distance.This phenomenon is completely different from that of planar CMOS devices.This indicates that the SET mechanism becomes more complicated during the FinFET process.Therefore,more effective SET hardening methods should be investigated for FinFET.

文摘Polar two-dimensional(2D)perovskites with their excellent semiconductor properties,intrinsic anisotropy,and bulk photovoltaic effect,have emerged as promising candidates for Self-driven polarization-sensitive photodetectors.However,these self-driven polarized detectors typically require fabrication along the spontaneous polarization direction to maintain the device’s operation in the self-driven mode,which imposes additional limitations.Herein,we demonstrate multidirectional self-driven polarization-sensitive photodetection by constructing 2D perovskite-based asymmetric contact devices,Ag/2D perovskite/C.The built-in electric field,originating from the difference in work functions,acts as the driving force for the separation and transport of photogenerated carriers.Notably,this approach does not necessitate a specific direction,thereby enabling multidirectional self-driven photodetection.Under excitation by linearly polarized light,our devices exhibit impressive polarization-sensitive discrimination in multiple directions,achieving polarization ratios of 3.3 and 3.1 along the a and baxes,respectively.Our work enriches the approaches enabling self-driven polarization-sensitive photodetection,free from the previous limitations.

文摘In rock engineering,natural cracks in rock masses subjected to external loads tend to initiate and propagate,leading to potential safety hazards.To investigate the effect of cracking behavior on the mechanical properties of rocks,the cracking processes of pre-cracked rocks have been extensively studied using numerical modeling methods.The peridynamics(PD)exhibits advantages over other numerical methods due to the absence of the requirements for remeshing and external crack growth criterion.However,for modeling pre-cracked rock cracking processes under impact,current PD implementations lack generally applicable rock constitutive models and impact contact models,which leads to difficulties in determining rock material parameters and efficiently calculating impact loads.This paper proposes a non-ordinary state-based peridynamics(NOSBPD)modeling method integrating the Drucker-Prager(DP)plasticity model and an efficient contact model to address the above problems.In the proposed method,the Drucker-Prager plasticity model is integrated into the NOSBPD,thereby equipping NOSBPD with the capability to accurately characterize the nonlinear stress-strain relationship inherent in rocks.An efficient contact model between particles and meshes is designed to calculate the impact loads,which is essentially a coupling method of PD with the finite element method(FEM).The effectiveness of the proposed NOSBPD modeling method is verified by comparison with other numerical methods and experiments.Experimental results indicate that the proposed method can effectively and accurately predict the 3D cracking processes of pre-cracked cracks under impact loading,and the maximum principal stress is the key driver behind wing crack formation in pre-cracked rocks.

文摘This study explores the dynamic contact response of a viscoelastic functionally graded material(FGM)-coated half-plane under a rigid flat punch subjected to a time-harmonic vertical force.The elastic modulus and mass density of the FGM coating vary exponentially along the thickness direction.The FGM coating and the homogeneous half-plane possess viscoelastic properties,which are described by a linearly hysteretic damping model.By applying the asymptotic method and the Fourier integral transform technique,the contact problem is converted into a Cauchy singular integral equation.The effects of excitation frequency,gradient index,damping factor ratio,and punch width on the vertical impedance and dynamic contact stress are analyzed.The results indicate that adjusting the gradient index of the FGM coating can significantly affect the contact stress and vertical impedance.

文摘The interfacial properties of Schottky contacts crucially affect the performance of power devices. While a few studies have explored the impact of fluorine on Schottky contacts, a comprehensive theoretical explanation supported by experimental evidence remains lacking. This work investigates the effects of fluorine incorporation and electrothermal annealing(ETA) on the current transport process at Ni/β-Ga_(2)O_(3) Schottky contacts. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and first-principles calculations confirm the presence of fluorine substitutions for oxygen and oxygen vacancies and their lowering effect on the Schottky barrier heights. Additionally, accurate electrothermal hybrid TCAD simulations validates the extremely short-duration high temperatures(683 K) induced by ETA, which facilitates lattice rearrangement and reduces interface trap states. The interface trap states are quantitatively resolved through frequency-dependent conductance technique, showing the trap density(DT)reduction from(0.88-2.48) × 10^(11) cm^(-2)·eV^(-1) to(0.46-2.09) × 10^(11) cm^(-2)·eV^(-1). This investigation offers critical insights into the β-Ga_(2)O_(3) contacts with the collaborative treatment and solids the promotion of high-performance β-Ga_(2)O_(3) power devices.
文摘Doping is essential for modulating semiconductor conductivity,forming p-n junctions,and reducing contact resistance[1].Notably,as organic semiconductors(OSCs)advance toward high performance,flexibility,and miniaturization,achieving precise regionally selective doping becomes critical for building complex,highly integrated devices[2].In inorganic semiconductors(e.g.,silicon),sub-100-nanometer regional doping is achievable through photolithography and ion implantation—techniques foundational to modern complementary metaloxide-semiconductor(CMOS)technology[3].
文摘The problems involving periodic contacting surfaces have different practical applications. An inverse heat conductionproblem for estimating the periodic Thermal Contact Conductance (TCC) between one-dimensional, constantproperty contacting solids has been investigated with conjugate gradient method (CGM) of function estimation.This method converges very rapidly and is not so sensitive to the measurement errors. The advantage of thepresent method is that no a priori information is needed on the variation of the unknown quantities, since the solutionautomatically determines the functional form over the specified domain. A simple, straight forward techniqueis utilized to solve the direct, sensitivity and adjoint problems, in order to overcome the difficulties associatedwith numerical methods. Two general classes of results, the results obtained by applying inexact simulatedmeasured data and the results obtained by using data taken from an actual experiment are presented. In addition,extrapolation method is applied to obtain actual results. Generally, the present method effectively improves theexact TCC when exact and inexact simulated measurements input to the analysis. Furthermore, the results obtainedwith CGM and the extrapolation results are in agreement and the little deviations can be negligible.
